Technical data

Typical drain connections are shown in figures 12, 13
and 14. Figure 12 shows typical connection. Figures 13
and 14 show possible connections when an air gap is
required.
Connecting the Hot Water Supply Line
The hot water supply line should be flushed to clear any
foreign matefiai BEFORE connecting the dishwasher.
Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks which
might restrict water flow.
IMPORTANT
If no air gap is used and the drain line is run into a
sink or disposer, the drain line must be elevated to a
point higher than the highest water level of the sink
to prevent back siphoning into the dishwasher.
NOTE: If connection to an air gap is required by local
code, air gap kits are available from local
plumbing sources. Install the air gap according
to the manufacturer's instructions.

Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant to 90 ° elbow
fitting and connect directly to water inlet valve. Attach
other end of fitting to your water supply line.
When connecting threaded pipe use pipe thread
compound or Teflon tape to seal the connection. Turn
on the water supply to check for leaks after making
connections.
If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting be
sure to make all solder connections before connecting
the water line to the dishwasher. Do not solder within 6
inches (152.4 mm) of the dishwasher's inlet valve.
Temperatures required for soldering will damage the
valve.

CAUTION
Failure to provide the proper drain connection
height, 20" (508mm) above floor level with high
loop or air gap, will result in improper draining of
the dishwasher. Improper draining may cause
damage to the dishwasher.
